JF-17 block-3 ?

[YeBeWarned]

It all depends on the date of the image the source has confirmed it being JF-17 he yet has to reply on date.

while Last of the remaining Block 2 are under production along with B version ... Block 3 will not come out before end of 2019 .. no doubt some Testing must be going on some systems or subsystems .

I don't know bro just saw this image and have already given the source. The technology demonstrator is not that hard to produce. The upgrades that included in block 3 are already there in China so let's wait for more news.

Mature design never fails. Time tested. Simple efficient engineering less headaches. The same will be carried forward. I am hoping Russians will be considerate.

Its the B. The Block-III is on the jig right now.
Hey @Deino , heard on the (reliable but perhaps biased) official whatsapp “grapevine” a few days ago that Chengdu takes more pride in the Xiaolong versus the J-10; specifically in how it behaves in the air

Apparently “our”(I say this because we got a lot of rap regarding this from our acorss the border “experts”) approach of getting the airframe worked out and then working up avionics and other integration later is being pushed for the USAF 6th generation fighter.

If the date is 2 July 2018 then it is JF-17 block 3

Thanks for this research it must have taken time
